Sorry about this. I hit a critical mass of darcs conflicts (I look forward to giving git a try) around the same time I got really busy at work. I've been meaning to get back into it (and update it to GHC HEAD) but I haven't received sufficient nagging yet. Please yell if you're interested in LambdaVM. At the very least I should be able to help get whatever is in darcs compiling.
Would it allow allow Haskell to also call Java code, besides running in JVM?
I think I'm not enough to nag you alone.
If you're looking for more people to nag you... I'm working on a compiler for a new declarative language. Right now we're using Haskell for a proof-of-concept interpreter, though one of the near-term goals for the compiler itself is a Java FFI/backend. Since much of the language is in the runtime engine, it'd be a shame to have to rewrite it all in Java or deal with the horror of JNI.
We can use this page, already pointed on this thread: http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Applications_and_libraries/Interfacing_other_... We could add something like "if you want something working regarding the interaction between Haskell and Java, please nag Brian Alliet at brian@..." Best, Maurício
